It’s as if what is unbreakable
the very pulse of life—waits for
everything else to be torn away,
and then in the bareness that
only silence and suffering and
great love can expose, it dares
to speak through us and to us.

It seems to say, if you want to last,
hold on to nothing. If you want
to know love, let in everything.
If you want to feel the presence
of everything, stop counting the
things that break along the way.

~Mark Nepo

and you may live well simply by being in awe and fresh and open…..

inquiry for today~    be a little lighter today, with a tiny bit of wistful…like a living poem…

seeing the heart

I am neither

this nor that

but rather

an array

of a little bit of this

and a little bit of that

but everything else

I will be curious

before all.
